Solaria
Retractable Shades
Elegance and Strength
We build Solaria’s structural components from durable aluminum, then powder-coat them in classic white for lasting appeal. We also offer personalized color options to perfectly match your outdoor design.
Solaria shades always look great and perform smoothly. Discreet hydraulic pistons are integrated into the rails, ensuring continuous fabric tension at any open position. This prevents sagging and maintains a sleek appearance. Because of this high tension, we offer Solaria exclusively as a motorized system for effortless operation.
Once fully extended, an automatic locking device secures the fabric, keeping it perfectly in place. But it’s not just about shade; it’s about smart design. When you retract the shade, the system increases fabric tension. This unique feature enhances its stretch and promotes smoother rainwater runoff, ensuring maximum efficiency and convenience. Solaria is truly an innovative choice for reliable, weather-resistant outdoor shading.

With a simple yet essential design, Solaria shades are easy to install. The integrated back structural bar lets you position standard awning brackets exactly where you need them, securing the shade directly to your home’s structure for a perfect fit.
Elegant
Solaria’s fabric is designed for flawless movement. It rolls effortlessly from the top, held continuously in tension by internal pistons. Once locked, the retracting motor applies additional tension, ensuring a perfectly taut and secure shade every time.
Dependable
To eliminate frame discontinuity, Solaria’s box is uniquely formed by sealing two halves into a single shell, allowing for a continuous length of up to 23 feet. With a 13-foot arm projection, Solaria offers the largest coverage currently available in its retractable awning category, setting it apart in the market.
